Your vacation planning community

Do you think ski school will be considerably less crowded the week of March 8th than the week of March 15th? What about the mountain in general? We are currently planning on skiing Mar 14-18 (Sun to Wed) but if it would be considerably less crowded I could switch it to Mar 12-15 (Fri to Mon). I have 2 children who will be in lessons and I was also wondering about the crowdes at the gondala.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Tell you the truth, I never notice any real difference on the Mountain at any time except toward the end of the season (April to the last day when it gets kind of lonely) or when NASTAR Finals are being run. This year they will be at Winter Park so that's not a problem.

As Steamboat is past the Summit County locations, Breck, Copper, etc, the hoards from Denver usually don't make it up for a short/long week.

That said, I would choose the Sun to Wed time to avoid any week end "crowd", such as it is. Saturday can have few more people with those leaving getting in a few last runs and those arriving getting their first. ;)

Cheers

Good question. In the next few weeks bookings start to indicate the busy weeks. Check back again mid November for and I'll be happy to share what I learn.

Usually kids don't want to wear the hood thing, but carry it in your pocket just in case. If it's really cold once you get on there on the slopes, I'll bet you big money that'll change.

Hard to predict of course but history is on your side. Be glad you didn't plan a trip around opening day at Vail today. They've got only one run open.

Temps have been great for snowmaking and we definitely have more snow this year than we had last year. I wouldn't worry, we tend to get dumped on in December. Here's a good article about late starts and how the season turns out.

I have been checking the cameras lately, and there does not appear to be alot of snow on the mountain, and not much in the forecast? Getting nervous about our trip out December 18th. Anything to worry about?

I agree with the balaclava. If your boys are going to wear helmets, which they should, then you can buy a nice under helmet hat/balaclava, a must in Steamboat. The key to keeping warm on the mountain is layers. (and toe warmers!)

I ski with my boys every January in Steamboat (now 10 & 8) and they wear the whole kit every day since they stay up top most the whole day ... base layer top and bottom, fleece top (& bottom if it's Arctic cold), and down jacket. They used to wear...
